You know, from an add-on called, Flagfox – I do not really expect much. So it shows a country flag depicting the location of the current website’s server location.

Simple add-ons that do their job, and do it well always make me happy. The add-on Copy Fixer is no exception to this rule. With this add-on installed in Firefox, you can make copying and pasting webpages you are visiting really easy.

Facebook is a tool that some of us use everyday, so we might as well make it look the way we want and add new abilities that we really need, right?

With it, you can add tons of tweaks to the Facebook interface and engine to get more out of this social networking tool.

In a day where we have fantastic website designs, terrific layouts and tons of stuff to check out on the web – we sometimes forget that some people have more readability problems than most.
